With the low sales numbers in America and the crazy dealer network, I treat mine like
its an exotic. Which means taking good care of it, God forbid I break anything, and the
feeling of driving something that isnt cookie-cutter.
I keep mine CLEAN both inside and out, change oil at 3k miles, and drive it VERY carefully.
Do you consider your Kizashi as an Exotic?

I treat it well as far as regular maintenance and fuel type used, but I do drive the hell out of it. Taking turns in my neighborhood way too fast and flooring it semi-regularly. I didn't buy a sport-sedan to drive like a grandpa 
X2. Good thing about zuks, they usually don't really require anything special and they run... and run... and run....jute2003 wrote:Not really, When I think exotic I think Ferrari or Lotus. I treat ours well and am trying to keep up with the maintenance but that's what I do with every vehicle.

Not exotic. But I will say is RARE.
People keep asking me about my car. When I said is a Kizashi. They get very impressed but when I said is a Suzuki they walk away. Now I know why some folks will take down the brand and the S logo.
